Math and Science (ASMSAS)

Description

This program prepares students to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a bachelor's degree in actuarial science, biology, chemistry, math, pharmacy, or physics. The program will give students a solid foundation in math and science. Students should obtain program requirements and transfer equivalencies from the college to which they are transferring.

Articulation

This program will fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) requirements provided the student takes two science courses from two different disciplines. One course must have a lab component. Students must have MTA posted on their transcripts by the WCC Student Records Office.

This program will fulfill MACRAO requirements if, in addition to the courses completed to meet General Education requirements, students complete one additional course in Social and Behavioral Science. Students must have MACRAO posted on their transcripts by the WCC Student Records Office.

Admissions Requirements

- Students must have an Academic Math Level of 7 to begin the math sequence. Two years of high school algebra and one year of high school pre-calculus are recommended to prepare for this program.
- The physics concentration requires one semester of high school physics or PHY 111 with a "C" or better to enroll in PHY 211.
- The biology, chemistry, and physics concentrations require one year of high school chemistry or CEM 101 with a "C" or better to enroll in CEM 111.

Footnotes

*Students transferring to EMU as a biology major may substitute MTH 176 or any higher 4-credit hour math course for MTH 191.
**Students transferring to EMU as a biology major may substitute MTH 160 or higher for MTH 192.
***Students transferring to EMU as a biology major may consider completing BIO 208 at WCC prior to transfer.
+See the MTA list to make course selections from any discipline except ECO.
++Transfer students should consider a course from the the EMU Diverse Word Requirements list.
+++Students may take 3 credits of a MTA approved natural science course as the second Natural Science elective but may need an elective to bring the total number of credits back up to 60 if necessary.

What Students Say About Online Classes

“I was very reluctant to take online classes, but because of my various roles as a wife, mother, full-time employee, and student my time was limited…. Online classes have helped with managing my time in these various roles, and have been a true blessing to both my family and my learning experience at WCC.”
